Women’s Hockey Wednesday: Is Merrimack the dark horse of Hockey East?

If I had to pick an upset for this weekend’s slate of games, I can’t tell you with utter certainty who I would have picked. I can tell you that I would not have sat down, looked at that schedule, and said, “Merrimack is going to beat the University of Minnesota, at home, in their season opener.”

And yet, Merrimack beat the University of Minnesota, at home, in their season opener.

For those who don’t follow college hockey, some backstory is necessary as to why women’s NCAA fans were yelling about this game so very loudly on Twitter.
